The government of Sindh on Sunday decided to revoke the notice it had issued regarding time limits for markets due to Eid-ul-Adha, following the relaxation of restrictions in Punjab.

The province’s home department reportedly sent out a notice saying that the limitation will resume on July 11.

In order to conserve electricity as the country was experiencing frequent power outages, the Government of Sindh earlier in June ordered all marketplaces in the province to close at 9 pm.

The limitation was supposed to last until July 16, but as Eid-ul-Adha is quickly approaching, the regional government has decided to temporarily relax the ban. The letter states that it was decided to suspend the closure orders for the benefit of locals.

Islamabad and Punjab had also let marketplaces stay open until late the day before to help the business community and those who were buying for Eid.
